Packages

You use Joomla Packages when you want to bundle together a number of Joomla extensions of different types.

The single operation of installing the package results in the installation of each of the constituent extensions.

To define a package you have

• a top level folder with the manifest file for the package

• subfolders for the package constituents, each extension with its own manifest file, etc.

See Installating Extensions - Package for details of the package manifest file and how to organise the constituents of the package.

An example package can be found in Manual Examples - maps package and described in Example Maps Module. This package bundles together a site module and a plugin.
